8. Mental Health First Aid Training
This training provides a full day of information regarding types of mental illness - signs and symptoms; response strategies for those working with clientele; and local resource and referral information. There is a version for those working with adults and one for those working with youth. There is some evidence that Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) increases participants’ understanding of mental health and confidence in helping individuals with mental health problems and modestly improves attitudes toward mental illness, with small reductions in stigma (Wong et al., 2015).
The training is available in most states. For more information, go to https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/
